Language : Bengali

Synopsis: Farhaz Chowdhury, a top Muslim chef from Dhaka in Bangladesh, first falls in love with her cooking and then with Basundhara â€” a Hindu Brahmin woman who runs a home catering service in Kolkata, India. Embedded within the culinary culture of every country is its climate, its emotions, its people and even nature and colours and smells and taste. ‘The Two Lovers’ is, thus, a celebration of food, and the love for it. Itâ€™s a celebration of the invested emotions and senses that turns cooking into an art form. Cooking is an art, a science, a craft and an emotional and humane act that can touch hearts through the stomach and out of it. Can it unite countries, religions and souls? Can it be used as a strategy of escaping depression and failure? Can cooking bring the joy of creation to the one who is designing, creating and orchestrating a dish? All this is explored in the film where cooking is the subject matter, the protagonist and the focus, all three embraced under a common umbrella.

Movie: Kyaa Hogaa

Country : India

Director : N/A

Duration : 1hr 50 mins

Language : Hindi

Synopsis: Kyaa Hogaa, a Hindi Feature Film is based on a well known novelist and story writer of Urdu and Hindi Munshi Premchand’s short story “Kafan.” It is a satire on the degradation of human beings and talks about a father Gheesu and his son Madav duo who need money to cremate the son’s wife Bhudiya after her premature death during childbirth. Both are poor and belong to the community of low-caste and never make both ends meet. Their only desire in life is to be full their stomach and for that they can go to any extent. Emotions, relationships and self respect are alien to them due to extreme poverty and despair which seems quite reasonable but Premchand points out the grey areas in the portrayal of Gheesu and Madav by showing them lethargic, slothful, workshy and notorious. To perform the funeral rites for Budhia, they ask the villagers for some monetary assistance. But then drink liquor and eat their favourite food properly from the money collected for shroud. They bless the soul & feel sad for what they have done in the end. The film “Kyaa hogaa” has done justice to the story and conveys its strong message maintaining its sensitivity and realism

After a bit of struggle, tourists start teaching the kids in his make shift dhaba-school. An American tourist and Sociology graduate– Janet Wright is drawn towards this unique social enterprise and decides to stay in Bajjar for a few weeks. She fixes the curriculum of the haphazardly run school and empowers the villagers. Enriched with Bansi’s magnanimity, she leaves Bajjar.

A new, swanky, air- conditioned restaurant just 1km away springs up almost overnight completely cutting off all tourist customers. Bansi confronts the restaurant owner, but gets beaten up by the guards. He is forlorn at the loss of his “tourist teachers”. The shutting down of Bansi’s dhaba-school becomes a rallying point for the villagers, who are determined to revive it at any cost. They decide to fight back by wooing back their coveted tourist customers. The new, reinvented Dhaba is ethnic and beautiful, attracting tourists of all hues to get a taste of the “real India”, thereby also reviving the school.

Virus

Filling Up Fast

2:35 PM | Siri Fort Audi 03

Movie: Virus

Country : India

Director : Aashiq Abu

Duration : 2hr 32 mins

Language : Malyalam

Synopsis: “Virus” is a fiction based on the formidable struggles that revolved around containing the deadly nipah epidemic that spread in Calicut, in 2018. A zoonotic disease top-listed by WHO, with no vaccination and treatment protocol, the deadly Nipah kills 75 % of those affected. And Virus movie documents how the community spirit of a small town in a tiny state of the third world managed to fight the battle and win – on medical, emotional and even political grounds. The frighteningly herculean task demanded the courage and commitment of not only the medical professionals, but also the civil administration and the larger public. In the face of such fatal outbreaks, prevention is not just better than cure, but it is the only cure. Virus, a compelling narrative of the multi-layered battle against the fear and spread of the nipah virus, is a haunting tribute to the 17 nipah patients died in Calicut and the innumerable people who fought to control the disease. Emotionally profound and sociologically layered, this film starts from the humdrum of a sensitive PG house surgeon attending the unending cases of the casualty of Calicut Medical College. The unwarranted deaths of a few patients – one of them a nurse – leads to the chilling realization of a deadly virus; the narrative paces up and unfolds through several incidents that occur to scattered characters: medical professionals, patients, their friends and family, bystanders, bureaucrats, district collector, health inspectors, health secretary, health minister et al. From the impoverished daily wage contract staff to the ambulance drivers, every character in this film is a hero, in subtle and sublime ways; but never glorified. The narrative revolves around the tension and conflicts centered at the isolation wards of the medical college and the control room. An allegation of the possibility of terrorists bio-weaponizing nipah heats up a political tussle between the local administration and the central investigation agency. The plot compassionately forays into the trajectory of the virus, eventually locating the index patient, against the backdrop of political allegations and emotionally overpowering conflicts. The film is also a visual meditation on the resilient spirit of humanity, and a profound salute to the multi-ethnic fabric of Kerala society and its much praised developmental model

Director : Sajeed Naduthody

Duration : 51 mins

Language : Malyalam

Synopsis: He was born without the gift of sight. He could have blamed his fate and spent his life in darkness, dependent on others his entire life, like many others before him. He chose not to. Haroon Kareem realized computers were his way out of darkness.
This documentary tells us how Haroon, a junior high school student, learned to use computers not just to light his way, but also the way for others like him. Haroon has developed applications to help the visually impaired to write, read, and attend classes just like anyone with sight. He has even developed a computer game designed to be played by the visually impaired.
In this documentary, Haroon tells us about his dreams, opinions, experiences, and experiments. He tells us how the special education system actually prevents people without sight from becoming part of the main stream society. He tells us why people with sight should stop showing sympathy to blind people. He shares his ideas about how information technology can help blind people blend in. He has already put some of his ideas into practice, in the form of audio magazines and applications for blind people.
Haroon’s story is one of optimism, confidence, hope, and some real talent. He may just be the one who may rewrite the life stories for many of the differently challenged people in India, not just as an inspiration, but as very real “life enabler”.
